Blanchard and Urker got engaged in October 2018 while she was incarcerated, before breaking up months later and reuniting in August 2019.
What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover one for who reported it.
Urker was found unresponsive in his bed at his Raceland, Louisiana, home by a family member Thursday on what would’ve been his 34th birthday, People reported.
In a statement to PEOPLE, Blanchard said she believes Urker died of a drug overdose.
The former couple shared a 21-month-old daughter, Aurora Urker, whom they welcomed on December 28, 2024.
Blanchard, an abuse victim, was handed a 10-year sentence after she encouraged her then-boyfriend Nicholas Godejohn to kill her mother, Clauddine “Dee Dee” Blanchard, in June 2015.
